A Family & A Home

Thinking of having this framed on our picture wall :)

Today is such a beautiful Sunday filled with love & laughter :)
Thank you Lord for giving me the wonderful blessing of a family!

Underworld: Awakening

Last Saturday almost made me feel like we're a young unmarried couple again.

Tea in the afternoon + home-cooked dinner + movie + coffee till midnight :)

There are wayyy too much vampire/lycans/werewolves movies nowadays!

I like Beckinsale but I like her more in romantic movies like Serendipity :)

Fishing

Till the sun came down...

"Many go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not the fish they are after."

-Henry David Thoreau

Tagaytay Highlands

Our long weekend getaway this January is TAGAYTAY HIGHLANDS!

Pine trees, log cabins, chalets, and ohh the cold breeze...
It was such a well-deserved escape from the city!

The cable car that took us down to the Country Clubhouse.

It was a first-time experience for Sophie & Brandon.

Running and playing around the beautifully landscaped gardens :)

Father and daughter fishing with bamboo rods in the lagoon.
Too bad... They weren't able to catch any fish after 2 hours of fishing :(

* Spectacular view of the Taal volcano and its surrounding lake *

Real

Got to talking about "being real" with a friend last night.

I think, being real, is being your beautiful imperfect self.

REAL

Plumb

Look at me, I'm twenty-three

Beautiful, a sight to see tonight

A little dress to draw the press

And I'll be leaving all the rest behind

Well, be pleased, girl

If this is what you wanted

The whole world

Is watching you take the stage

What will you say?

Aren't I lovely and do you want me

Coz I am hungry for something that will make me real

Can you see me and do you love me

Coz I am desperately searching for something real

I close my eyes, imagine time

Will not forget my sacrifice

I numb the ache and decorate

my emptiness stand naked in the light

Well, be pleased, world

If this is what you wanted

This young girl is everything that you made

What will she say?

Aren't I lovely and do you want me

Coz I am hungry for something that will make me real

Can you see me and do you love me

Coz I am desperately searching for something real

The world goes home

The lights go down

My lipstick fades away

Moving Forward

A shattering news came in on the early days of January.

Something to inspire those who are broken and those who are healing.

No matter how shattering it is, let's all look on the bright side and move on.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows

Our 1st movie of the year... Hubby's choice :)
